(A Fierce Attack)
They say that there is a crock of gold at every rainbow's end, but fairy gold universally prized far about mere mortal wealth is a treasure dearly bought.
The verbuMMagus plucks a story from the shelves of Fairy Tales which tells of a particularly mischievous band of sylvan nymphs - spell-weavers, beguilers - who in common with many other magic-wielders loved to play tricks on dissatisfied mortals; using their greed or boredom to lure them to disaster. For despite being constantly told by the wise that there is no such thing as something for nothing, there are always those who refuse to believe it.
The fairy forest dwellers were generous in the amount of gold they placed at the end of their rainbows but they exacted a heavy toll: a dragon! Craftily concealed by enchantment, the ferocious beast would lie in wait for unsuspecting pilferers and then spring a terrifying ambush. Needless to say very few fairy coins ever found their way into general circulation!

OTHER INFORMATION |
The Original paint trial for this piece was painted by Ex Enchantica artist Caroline Briggs and if you compare it with the picture of the production version you can see that the only changes needed was to add more orangey red to the tail to make it stand out better against the wing and add a bit more red to the under side of the wings - (for comparison photos see bottom of this page ) |

Just thought I'd add 4 more pictures of the paint trial piece
